Beaming in live from London, this week we caught up with Oliver Dudfield, Head of Sport for Development &amp; Peace. He explained what the Secretariat is seeing around the world, how its strategy is evolving in the face of the pandemic and how it plans to work with member nations to recover and rebuild sporting systems. Ollie talked about the opportunity presented for world sport to become more inclusive; and gave a viewpoint on women\u2019s sport recovery in New Zealand and the Pacific.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: helvetica, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;\"><em>Oliver Dudfield leads the Commonwealth Secretariat\u2019s work supporting member countries to maximize and protect the contribution sport can make to sustainable economic, social and environmental development.
